Quantifying lion (Panthera leo) demographic response following a three-year moratorium on trophy hunting
Fig 2
Observed proportion of male and female lions as cubs (0.00–1.99 years), subadults (2.00–3.99 years), and adults (≥4.00 years) in the South Luangwa lion population from 2008 to 2015.
The vertical dashed line indicates when 3-year moratorium on trophy hunting was implemented. Numerals indicate known lions observed. Parenthetic numeral indicates known lions that were new to the study that year. These numbers include 43 cubs (18.7% of all cubs) that were observed, but not sexed before disappearance and were randomly assigned a gender (21 male and 22 female) for modelling survival.
